About Marcia
Marcia Blake is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She aims to build warm rapport so people feel heard and understood from the first visit.
Marcia draws on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy while also using acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based perspectives.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at patterns of thinking and emotional reactions. She helps people notice what triggers strong responses and practice different ways of coping. Her background includes work in residential programs, community mental health, group therapy, and independent practice.
That variety informs how she tailors support for each person. Marcia also uses creative tools like journaling, poetry, music, and art when those approaches fit a clients needs. In therapy she focuses on increasing self-awareness and identifying negative core beliefs that influence behavior.
Together with clients she develops practical skills and routines to manage mood, reduce reactivity, and handle relationship stressors. The pace and techniques are set by each person's goals. People seeking help for addiction-related stress, caregiver strain, attachment concerns, chronic illness, panic, or feelings of emptiness will find relevant experience in her work history.
Marcia works with adolescents and adults and adapts methods to match each person's stage of life and preferences.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for panic, mood problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, temperament, and everyday needs. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so techniques feel useful rather than forced.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and keep regular check-ins during stressful periods. Some formats also make shorter or more frequent check-ins possible when needed, or let people choose sessions that do not require video. Discuss practical preferences at the first appointment so scheduling and the method of meeting suit daily routines and goals.
